SPORTS // After a heart-stopping win over North Texas in the second round of the National Invitation Tournament, Virginia men’s basketball traveled back to Charlottesville for a date with St. Bonaventure in the quarterfinals. The Bonnies (23-9, 12-5 Atlantic 10) – who earned two quality victories over Oklahoma and Colorado in the NIT – faced the Cavaliers (21-14, 11-6 ACC) in the first ever matchup between the two schools. 

A low-scoring game in Charlottesville ended with the bitter taste of defeat for the Cavaliers who were nearing an appearance in the NIT Final Four. St. Bonaventure simply closed the game better than Virginia, as the shooting of Franklin could not carry Virginia to victory despite a late five-point lead. 

With the season officially concluded, Coach Tony Bennett will look towards the fall and the exciting new roster that will step foot in John Paul Jones Arena. With a hectic final game for Virginia and a less-than-ideal conclusion to the season for the Cavaliers, there is reason for optimism heading toward the 2022-23 season.
